Well worn

La Quinta has expanded their chain by taking over a number of facilities that were formerly part of some other motel chain. In most instances they have done an excellent job of updating and upgrading those facilities to La Quinta standards, which are generally excellent. However, it looks like the update/upgrade crew hasn't gotten to downtown Lubbock, Texas yet.
The room we were assigned at this La Quinta Inn was on the far end of a long string and as far from the office as you can get in this facility. The nearest thing to it was a small park by the "Civic Center" which appeared to be the gathering place for all the homeless in the city. There were several dozen gathered there with their shopping carts.
The door to the room appeared to have been forceably opened by someone at sometime and it stuck so bad that you nearly had to kick it in to get it open. The interior of the room wasn't much better. There was a round hole in the cheap plastic closet door that looked to be about the size of a beer bottle. There was a recliner in the room that had a tear or a cut in the upholstery on the arm.
About the only positive comment I can make is that this bedraggled room was at least clean.

Good location. Spacious rooms. Very comfortable king bed. Nice area in room for laptop use and fairly good free wireless connection. In need of repairs and some replacements. We pulled out the nightstand to connect to the electrical outlet and were surprised to find filth on the baseboard behind the bed; it hadn't been cleaned for a while.

We had a doctor's appt. in Lubbock so spent the night before at the LaQuinta on Q St. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the room, comfort of the king-sized bed, prompt attention when we couldn't get a lamp turned on, breakfast, etc. The price of the room was a pleasant surprise as it was the most reasonable of any place we have stayed in ages.
